Some of you are less experienced with computers. I just got 235 virus emails . . . 34kb apiece (so you can watch for them) FROM: lots of forged addresses of members of RCTN. I recognized many, many of them. All of the addresses may not be forged. Some of you may actually HAVE the virus and its...

some help and such, and to maybe "talk" with fellow knitters. Someone told me there were knitters in here, so I hope it's okay if I post. I also do some cross stitch and painting and sewing. Anyway....I have a question about cardigan sweaters. I am wanting a very basic, simple, plain pattern...

Anyone got a fresh asparagus handy? I have the green colors worked out, but those little brown/purple/grey protrusions along the stem ... what DMC color do you think comes closest? My "garden craft fair" find, Needlepoint for Gardeners, has some nifty veggies, and I want to make Mom an asparagus...

April Goals: Start something new and fun!!! I actually pulled out the Christmas stocking I want to make for DD. It is a Bucilla kit (Holiday At Home) and I had sorted the threads already but hadn't started stitching since my large scroll frame was occupied at the time. That was a year ago. ...

I can read off-line, but my posts apparently only get posted if I send them from the on-line reader. Grrrrrr. So, I need to remember to cut-and-paste to the on-line form. -- Finished 3/17/04 -- Elmo WIP: Fireman's Prayer, Amid Amish Life, Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe

I am looking for a leaflet by Melinda "Daughter." I have all her other family charts but loaned Daughter out and it was never returned. My daughter graduates from college next year and I would like to stitch it for her. Thanks for any help. Carmen

Wonder if all are outside in nice weather? Came in for my coffee break and hardly any posts.... guess I will go do some actual needlework!!!!

Grr -- none of the stores I've visited recently carry DMC #153. I have a chart that calls for it. I can get it on-line, but I feel ridiculous ordering just two skeins of thread -- and I can't afford further S.E.X. at the moment! Oh well, guess I have to work on a different WIP. Gee, what a...

I'm going to Columbia, SC in June. Are there any stitch shops to visit? Angela

Hi RCTNer's! This message is very OT but I'm posting it to our group because we're a very diverse group of people. I have a leaded crystal lamp - it's very old and weighs a zillion tons. 12 12 inch long crystal prisms hang around the neck of this lamp and it all glitters and sparkles. Over the...

Dear Friends, I am looking for two charts by Annabel Fox from her Aesop's Fables line. One has the fox and geese, and one has some other animals with pears hanging off the tree in the middle. I would be willing to borrow these charts, and to swap for another Annabel Fox chart in addition (I have...

I am still trying to narrow down the list of classes I want to take at CATS Hershey and I was wondering if anyone had taken a class with her. I am thinking about taking either X Marks the Spot or Diamond in the Rough but I have never had a class with her before so I was just thought I would ask...

The wind here has been just unreal. Talk about strong, when I go to work, I can just imagine all the stuff that's laying around because of it. Carol In WI

I am looking for the Loretta Spears chart/charts called Bargello Symphony. It is no longer available so I am trying all my "other" resources in hopes someone has this and would like to sell it. Or any Loretta Spears designs... lara -- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/needlepoint_etc/

Does anyone have or know of someone willing to part with a chart called "In training" for the Tennessee Football player. My LNS hasn't been able to reorder this from the original supplier or from the designer. I would like to do this for my little boy. Thanks Angela L.

My wonderful finisher retired last year, and the LNS has not yet been able to find a new one. Being leery of handing over my projects to someone w/o knowing anything, I'm curious if anyone knows of a talented person who does this kind of work. (mostly wall hangings and ornies) Stitching is fun,...

I'm finally back. There aren't enough words to properly thank everyone for the nice things ya'll have sent to me. Special thanks to Alda for parting with two Stoney Creek class projects we took together and to Janie Prusaczyk for sending me the kind of hoops I like. I cried when I opened the...
